City Engineer Comments <br /> Background <br /> In June, the applicants were initially requesting a side setback variance to permit construction of a <br /> two-story garage and living space addition on the east side of the home 15.6 feet from the side lot <br /> line where a 30 foot setback is required and a conforming 30.5 foot setback currently exists. Following <br /> a staff analysis and recommendation for denial the applicants have revised their plans. Their new <br /> plan results in a two-story garage addition on the west side of the home at a conforming setback; the <br /> new driveway extension to access the garage requires a setback variance from the wetland. The <br /> driveway is proposed to be constructed as close as 12 feet from the wetland where a 35-foot setback <br /> is required. A portion of the new driveway is also proposed to be constructed within an existing <br /> sanitary sewer easement. If the City engineer deems it appropriate,an encroachment agreement can <br /> be drafted to address the new driveway and the existing boulder wall improvements within the <br /> easement. <br />
